At Americas Choice Inspections, we have been providing quality home inspection services to Charlotte area residents since 2009. We’ve compiled a list of 6 tips that will help your home sell fast and for top dollar.

1. Depersonalize the Space

Start your preparations by removing pictures and family heirlooms. While these sentimental pieces make your house feel like home to you, they are distracting to potential buyers. In addition, remove bold furniture and decor so the space is clean, simple, and understated. By creating a clean, open space, it is easier for buyers to envision the home as their own.

2. Declutter

Removing clutter and emptying out closets will make your home look bigger. Buyers need to see that the house is large enough to accommodate their belongings. Also, cleaning off counters and removing knickknacks from shelves will make the home look bright and open.

3. Clean

The last thing that potential buyers want to see are cobwebs and dust bunnies. Make your fixtures sparkle, keep floors clean, and attend to your home’s exterior. It’s amazing what clean windows and walls can do for a space. A little elbow grease goes a long way when selling a home.

4. Remove or Replace Favorite Items

If there are certain fixtures you want to take with you, be sure to remove them before buyers fall in love with them. If you tell a buyer they can’t have appliances or grandma’s chandelier, they will wish they could have them. Remove the items now to avoid a dispute later.

5. Make Minor Repairs

Buyers don’t want to inherit your leaky sink, torn window screens, or broken drawers. Walk through each room of your house, and make note of the simple repairs you can make. Adding spackle to nail holes and a coat of paint can do wonders for a room. Check out our DIY resource videos to learn how to fix a variety of simple household problems.

6. Schedule a Pre-listing Inspection

Before you put your home on the market, schedule a pre-listing inspection with our team of professionals. We will inspect your home from top to bottom, and make you aware of any potential problems. Repairing problems now will earn you top dollar when your home sells. To schedule your Charlotte area home inspection, contact us at (704) 504-9798.

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 22:26:59 +0000https://www.americaschoiceinspections.com/?p=972You have just accepted an offer on your house and, after weeks of cleaning, staging, and scheduling showings, you’re ready to get packing and get out of there!

If you prepare for your upcoming inspection with these simple “Dos and Don’ts” from your friends at America’s Choice Inspections, the inspection process will be smoother and less stressful.

DO

Clean Your House. Your home inspector should not have to trip over your shoes as he or she walks in the door, or search under a pile of dishes to inspect the sink and plumbing. Like potential buyers, the first impression of your home to the inspector matters as well. If your house is messy and cluttered, the home inspector could assume that it’s not cared for and thus could affect his/her report.

Clean Up the Exterior. Just like the inside of your house, you want to keep the exterior of your home clean and well-cared for. Trim bushes, mow the lawn, and clear all sidewalks.

Turn On All Utilities. You need to be sure that all utilities are on even if you have already moved out of the house. The inspector will need to check all appliances, including the furnace and air conditioner, so he will need access to electricity, water, and gas. If these are not in working order, the inspection will need to be rescheduled and closing could be delayed.

DON’T

Leave Obvious Issues Unfixed. Don’t waste the home inspector’s and homebuyer’s time by leaving issues unfixed if you already know about them. This will make the inspection report longer, and will make the homebuyer more nervous. If you know of an issue, fix it before the inspection to ensure a smooth closing.

Forget to Put Safety First. Before your inspection, don’t let the safety and security of your home fall by the wayside. Make sure all of your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order, and scrub your chimney ahead of time.

The home inspection process can be overwhelming, but don’t let it get you down. Call America’s Choice Inspections at (704) 504-9798 today or schedule an appointment online. All of our home inspectors are licensed and insured professionals with years of training and on-site experience serving Charlotte, NC, and the surrounding areas.

Finding a trustworthy, qualified, and experienced inspector can help put your mind at ease and can ensure that you are getting exactly what you are paying for. With American’s Choice Inspections, you’re getting all of this and more. While finding a trustworthy inspector is important, having a general understanding of what to look for in a report is a good idea. Here are two of the most common findings in inspection reports that are good to keep an eye out for when buying a home.

Moisture and Drainage

The most common defect detected during the inspection phase is moisture and drainage. This is the leading cause of dry rot, major structural damage, and toxic mold. It is important that grading of the property slopes away from the home. The roof must be inspected and be watertight. Plumbing throughout the home must be free from leaks. These criteria must be met, or the results will be catastrophic. Look for the following indicators:

Moisture stains around the ceiling, walls, or windows

Worn roof

Water ponding under or by the foundation

Improper Electrical Wiring

Depending on the age of the house, improper electrical wiring can be a common finding on an inspection report. A common electrical wiring problem that is found is an outlet with reversed polarity. Reversed polarity is when the “HOT” and “NEUTRAL” wires are placed on the improper terminal on the outlet. Correcting reversed polarity is a fairly simple task but can be extremely costly if not corrected. Another common improper electrical wiring issue is double taps within the electrical breaker box. This is when there are two electrical circuits/feeds attached to a single breaker. This is considered a fire hazard if not corrected.

While these are two of the more common findings on an inspection report, there are many more potential issues to uncover. With the professionals at America’s Choice Inspections, you can rest assured that these issues and more will be identified and addressed.

]]>5 Commonly Missed Red Flags in a Home Inspectionhttps://www.americaschoiceinspections.com/blog/5-commonly-missed-red-flags-in-a-home-inspection/
Thu, 12 Jul 2018 14:16:50 +0000https://www.americaschoiceinspections.com/?p=951Serious home defects can be easy to miss by the untrained eye. Most home inspectors have the tools and training to detect even the trickiest issues, but they are only human, and sometimes things get overlooked. Even the best inspectors will miss an item that was not visible during the inspection. The fact of the matter is, not all home inspectors are created equal. According to the experts at America’s Choice Inspections, there are five areas that could be missed at a home inspection. 1. Negative Grades Around the Foundation Generally, soil should slope away from the foundation. If there is a negative grade, or slope, toward the foundation, water can easily run into the basement or crawlspace. This can cause a multitude of problems such as mold, insect infestation, rotting wood, and a cracked foundation over time. 2.

Most home inspectors have the tools and training to detect even the trickiest issues, but they are only human, and sometimes things get overlooked. Even the best inspectors will miss an item that was not visible during the inspection. The fact of the matter is, not all home inspectors are created equal. According to the experts at America’s Choice Inspections, there are five areas that could be missed at a home inspection.

1. Negative Grades Around the Foundation

Generally, soil should slope away from the foundation. If there is a negative grade, or slope, toward the foundation, water can easily run into the basement or crawlspace. This can cause a multitude of problems such as mold, insect infestation, rotting wood, and a cracked foundation over time.

2. Heating and Cooling Equipment

If the house is being inspected in the dead of winter, the inspector may not have the best opportunity to check if the AC unit will run at its full capacity. This is also true of furnaces in the summer. HVAC equipment also contains many elements and electronic components that are susceptible to wear and tear.

3. Leaks or Faulty Plumbing

The home inspector should be able to detect plumbing leaks. However, if the home is vacant, the leak might not show up until the water has been turned on for a few days.

4. Window Condensation

Fog on the windows is not always a problem. When there is condensation or fog in between window panes, however, then attention must be paid. This typically means that the seal on a multi-pane window is broken. Broken seals can affect energy efficiency, and the moisture encourages the growth of mold and mildew.

5. Aging Roof

The effects of aging on a roof include cupping, curling, blistering, lifting, splitting, insect damage, cracking, rotting, and missing granular/sections. These symptoms of an aging roof may be warning signs of future water intrusion unless a new roof is installed.

Buyers and sellers should be very diligent in selecting a home inspector.

With all of the stress of house showings and negotiating sale price, you might have overlooked one important step in the home buying process: the home inspection. Most home buyers hire a home inspector to investigate and analyze a new home before closing. It is important to know the condition of the home that you are buying so that you do not encounter surprise issues that will cost a lot of money and headaches to fix. Here are a couple of common issues that the inspectors at Americas Choice Inspections find during home inspections so you will know what to expect when it’s time for your inspection.

Mold and Mildew

If mold and mildew are found at the home inspection, the seller needs to address it immediately. Black mold can be toxic and needs to be professionally removed. Even small amounts of “safe” mold or mildew can be scary if you’re not sure of the source. For example, you might see a small amount of mold on the shower tile and assume that it is safe only to find out after closing that there is mold growing behind the tile and around the shower back to the walls and floor. Fixing a mold problem can be very expensive, so make sure any mold found is taken care of before closing.

Damp Basement or Crawlspace

Too much moisture in the basement or crawlspace is usually caused by a foundation issue such as poor drainage that funnels water toward the foundation. The inspector will examine the walls and floor for mildew and water damage. He can also use a meter to determine how much moisture is present in these spaces because moisture deteriorates building materials and attracts insects. If foundation leaks are found during the inspection, you can request that the seller fixes the problem, or you can negotiate the sale price down to account for the cost to fix it.

At Americas Choice Inspections, our team recommends that sellers also consider a pre-listing home inspection for the following reasons.

1. Don’t stress the inspection.

You’re desperate to sell your home and want to avoid any reason for the buyers to back out. The buyer’s home inspection can often be quite stressful for the seller, especially if you don’t know about unseen problems or “make-or-break” issues that will cause the buyer to ask for costly repairs or perhaps even walk away from the contract. You can avoid such stress by getting a pre-listing inspection and know exactly what will come up on the report.

2. Anticipate potential concerns.

Not only do you get to avoid stress, you also have the opportunity to do something about any concerns the inspector brings up. You may opt to do any repairs ahead of time or adjust your listing price to reflect necessary renovations. That way, you avoid any speed bumps between you and the sale of your home.

3. Get an edge in a hot market.

When the real-estate market is hot and flooded with buyers, you want your home to stand out from the crowd. With a pre-listing inspection from Americas Choice, you can show buyers that you’ve done your due diligence, made any repairs, or adjusted the listing price. You may even opt to make the full inspection report available to sellers if that’s an incentive you and your realtor decide is a good option. Do what you can to make your house stand out from every other home in the greater Charlotte, NC, area.

Here’s what you gain by getting a radon inspection from our team at Americas Choice Inspections.

1. Remediations

By getting a radon inspection, you can request that the sellers put in the system prior to the close of the sale so you don’t have to pay for it or mess with it.

2. Knowledge

Radon is odorless, tasteless, and invisible. So unless you get a radon inspection, you won’t know whether radon is actually present in any residential or commercial property. That’s knowledge you want to have prior to any home purchase.

3. Protection

Due to the negative effects that radon can have on your health, we recommend that you don’t take your chances. You can monitor radon levels, and if necessary, install a mitigation system that will keep radon at bay. By doing so, you can protect your health and the health of your friends and family.

Even if you aren’t purchasing a home, you may want to consider a radon inspection. Radon levels can change, so to be on the safe side, and get an inspection. You can get radon testing in addition to a home inspection or on its own as a specialty inspection.

In fact, one of the first things you might look for in a house is whether it seems to be solidly built or not. The bad news is that even the most seemingly sturdy homes built with the best materials can be struck by termites.

The result is that you have a beautiful home in need of repair or even structurally unsound. Your best bet to fend off termites and to know whether a home has already suffered termite damage is to get a termite inspection from Americas Choice Inspections.

What is a termite inspection?

During a termite inspection, one of our pro inspectors will come to your home and look for signs of termite infestation. Common signs here in North Carolina include:

Mud tubes on walls, floor joists, or floor systems.

Hollow wood that often indicates that termites have been feeding at that site.

Swarms of termites.

If signs of termites or termite damage are found, our inspector will go over those results with you and help you know what’s needed to get rid of the termites and/or repair damages. While we don’t do the extermination or repairs in-house, we can refer you to the appropriate licensed professionals.

Why should I get a termite inspection?

If you’re purchasing a new house, it’s always a good idea to get a termite inspection along with your traditional home inspection. Termites and termite damage aren’t always apparent on an initial walkthrough, which is why you want a professional to take a look and provide you with an expert opinion. Then, if termite damage is found, you can use our report to go back to the seller and perhaps negotiate for repairs.

If you already own a home but suspect termites, then call us today. You don’t want termites to spend more time in (or under) your home than they already have. The sooner you find out whether you have a problem, the sooner you can get rid of it.

The resounding answer is: Yes! Let our staff at Americas Choice Inspections tell you the value of a home inspection from one of our pro team members.

1. Leverage

When purchasing a home, you have very little margin for negotiations after going under contract. However, when you get a home inspection, you can legally request for repairs or other concessions to account for issues within the home. Remember you can only request repairs if the issues show up on the home inspection.

2. Peace of mind

Buying a house is a big deal, filled with much uncertainty. However, minimize your risk (and your anxiety) by getting a home inspection and knowing all you can about the house. In addition to a regular home inspection, you can also add on mold testing, radon inspection, and more.

3. Ability to plan

Most home inspections focus on the big-money items, such as HVAC, foundation, structure, roof, windows, and so on. However, our inspectors will also note any smaller defects or repairs that you can anticipate in the next few years. For example, the water heater may be functioning well but getting older, so you may not decide to ask to have it replaced, but rather you can begin putting aside some money for when it does quit.

4. Resources moving forward

At Americas Choice, you get some extras along with your home inspection that can make home ownership even easier. For example, with a residential inspection, you also get perks like “Ask the Experts” mobile app, 24/7 property emergency phone support, discounted locksmith rekey programs, and more.

However, do we offer some services above and beyond the basics, in case you’re interested in mold testing or radon testing.

2. How much does a home inspection cost?

The total cost of an inspection is based on the square footage of the home and property age. When you call to schedule your home inspection or specialty inspection, we can give you a more detailed quote based on these details.

3. Do I need to be present at the inspection?

We don’t require you to be present at the inspection, but we do encourage it highly. While we give you a thorough inspection report after we’re done, there’s value added in being on site and being able to ask the inspector questions as they come up. That way, you can make the most informed next steps in your real estate journey.
